4:55 LTE O Done Didion+Formal+Paper+Assign... ☺ Paper #1 Assignment UNIT ONE: Why Writers Write The Question: In "On Keeping a Notebook," Joan Didion writes, "How it felt to me: that is getting closer to the truth about a notebook." Write an essay that interprets what you think the truth is about why Didion keeps a notebook. Didion never explicitly says why she keeps a notebook, but in her essay she does offer many different reasons for writing. Therefore, you need to interpret those reasons to make an argument for the main, implied reason that Didion keeps a notebook (or "the truth"), and then prove that to your reader using evidence from the text. Due Dates: On Wednesday, September 15, a typed thesis and list of evidence (i.e., at least four quotes) are due to upload to Canvas. On Thursday, September 16, a typed introduction and one body paragraph are due to post on Canvas. On Monday, September 20 a three-page, typed draft is due for a peer review to post on Canvas and to bring in as a hardcopy. On Wednesday, September 22 a revision of the draft is due for in-class, line-editing, Bring in as a hardcopy. You will submit the final, 3-4 page paper on Thursday, September 23 on Canvas.
